Not Quite Queens, but Close, and WORLD CLASS


St. Peter's Church (the Jazz Church) is doing its Jazz on the Plaza series again after a two-year hiatus, starting in May 2010. (It is not in Queens but it is right above the first E-train stop in Manhattan from Queens.)

This series has featured MAJOR, world-class talent, and lots of it. Jazz on the Plaza is one of the best things about living in NYC - do not miss it.
